Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for recovering bromine, from a waste liquid formed in the production of anilines by ammonolysis of nuclear substituted bromobenzenes with at least one halogen atom or functional group or from a similar liquid. More particularly, it relates to a process for recovering bromine by liberating it through chlorine treatment of the above-said waste liquid or the like, which contains, in addition hydrogen bromide and another bromide, a small amount of the objective compound that has not been recovered, other anilines as byproduct, ammonia, ammonium salts, etc.
- the object of this invention is to provide an industrially advantageous process for recovering bromine, from a waste liquid formed in the production of an aniline derivative by ammonolysis of a nuclear substituted bromobenzene derivative with at least one halogen atom or functional group or the like, from which no industrially possible process of recovering bromine has so far been known.
- a further object of this invention is to provide an industrial process for the bromine recovery, safe and smooth in operation by eliminating detrimental effects of the aniline derivatives and ammonia which are remaining dissolved in the above-said liquid.
- an aniline derivative by ammonolysis of a bromobenzene derivative nuclear substituted with at least one halogen atom or functional group such as hydroxyl group, amino group, nitro group, carboxyl group, sulfo group, or the like
- recovery of the objective compound that is, the aniline derivative by a suitable procedures such as fractionation, distillation, or the like leaves a waste liquid which contains by-produced aniline derivatives other than the objective product, ammonia, and ammonium salts as well as a small amount of the objective compound that has not been recovered.
- said waste liquid or the like is treated by the first stage chlorination under specified conditions after addition of an alkaline material to insolubilize most parts of above-said aniline derivatives, while keeping the bromine compounds substantially not reacting with chlorine and dissolving in the liquid, whereby precipitation of said aniline derivatives in the next chlorination stage can be prevented and said aniline derivatives nuclear substituted with a halogen atom or functional group can form easy filtrable precipitates to be separated relatively easy in the first stage and at the same time most part of ammonia can be decomposed or volatilized.
- This invention relates to a process for recovering bromine, from a waste liquid formed in the production of an aniline derivative by ammonolysis of a nuclear substituted bromobenzene derivative with at least one halogen atom or functional group, or from a similar liquid, characterized by the following steps of (a)-(e):
- step (d) adding a mineral acid or an acidic waste liquid containing a mineral acid before or after the above-said step (c) to adjust the pH of the liquid to 3 or less; and then,
- the liquid to be treated in this invention contains; bromine compounds, for example, a bromide such as sodium bromide, potassium bromide, or ammonium bromide, and hydrogen bromide; additionally, nuclear substituted aniline derivatives with a halogen atom such as chlorine or bromine, or with a functional group such as hydroxyl group, amino group, nitro group, carboxyl group, sulfo group, or the like, said aniline derivatives including the aniline derivative that is the objective compound to synthesize and has not be recovered and remained, by-produced aniline derivatives, and the changed compounds therefrom; remaining ammonia and ammonium salts; and in many cases, it further contains the catalyst admixed in the synthesis and the changed compound therefrom.
- bromine compounds for example, a bromide such as sodium bromide, potassium bromide, or ammonium bromide, and hydrogen bromide
- nuclear substituted aniline derivatives with a halogen atom such as chlorine or bromine
- This liquid may be subjected to the treatment of this invention, directly as it is, or after it has been subjected to a pretreatment such as distillation, crystallization, filtration, or the like, to separate some parts of the constitutents therefrom, or after it has been mixed with a similar waste liquid of another organic synthesis.
- a pretreatment such as distillation, crystallization, filtration, or the like, to separate some parts of the constitutents therefrom, or after it has been mixed with a similar waste liquid of another organic synthesis.
- an alkaline material is added to the liquid to be treated in an amount of not less than 1.1 mole-times that of the combined ammonia in this liquid.
- the alkaline material hydroxides and carbonates of alkali metals may be used, and ordinarily sodium hydroxide is most preferable.
- the alkaline material is presumed to be converted to the hypochlorite on introducing gaseous chlorine and participates in reaction. It serves to suppress the liberation of bromine in the first stage chlorine treatement and to precipitate aniline derivatives as relatively easy filtrable form. It may be added preferably in an excess amount of 1.2 to 1.5 mole-times that of the combined ammonia in the liquid.
- the liquid thus made strongly alkaline can be subjected to distillation to remove at least parts of ammonia and aniline derivatives in the liquid prior to the chlorine treatment.
- distillation to remove at least parts of ammonia and aniline derivatives in the liquid prior to the chlorine treatment.
- Most parts of the liberated ammonia are distilled out and a part of the organic materials is distilled out with water by heating or steam blowing according to ordinary techniques of distillation or steam distillation, and they are collected and recovered. If precipitation of some constitutents takes place in the liquid in this distillation, it may be removed by filtration.
- gaseous chlorine is blown into the resulting liquid, and this treatment is continued until the oxidation-reduction potential of the liquid exceeds 400 mV.
- the gaseous chlorine is introduced into the liquid in a well dispersed state to contact with the liquid.
- the chlorine treatment is continued until the oxidation-reduction potential is raised over 400 mV, preferably up to a voltage of 600 to 700 mV, the ammonia content will be reduced usually to a level of about 20 to 10 ppm or less and precipitation of the aniline derivatives can be completed.
- the pH value of the liquid is maintained in alkaline region by the presence of an excess alkali previously added, and hence neither bromine liberation nor trichloroamine formation occurs during this treatment.
- the precipitate is removed by filtration from the chlorine-treated liquid, and the pH of the liquid is adjusted to 3 or less by addition of a mineral acid or a waste liquid containing a mineral acid before or after said filtration.
- the formed precipitate usually has such an improved filtration property that it can be filtered off by a usual filtration means.
- fractionation is carried out by adoption of a suitable separating means or by the use of a filter aid.
- hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or a waste liquid containing such an acid in order to adjust the pH of the liquid, occasionally precipitation takes place again; in this case it is preferable to filter off the precipitate after the pH adjustment.
- the filtrate is used for the latter stage chlorine treatment.
- the pH of the liquid is not more than 3, preferably not more than one. Since the liquid contains a hypochlorite formed by the former stage chlorine treatment, sometimes a reducing agent is added to the liquid before the pH adjustment to inhibit the liberation of bromine in the pH adjustment.
- the liquid obtained through the treatments described above contains substantially all of the bromine content of the original liquid, whereas it contains substantially no aniline derivative that becomes insoluble in chlorine treatment.
- an increase in ammonia content is observed in the liquid after storage depending upon the composition of the liquid or upon the conditions of the former stage chlorine treatment, but the effect of the existence of ammonia can be avoided by exercising care not to cause the formation and accumulation of trichloroamine in the latter stage chlorine treatment.
- the above-said filtrate is brought into contact with gaseous chlorine while allowing the filtrate to flow down in a vertically long, gas-liquid contact equipment and simultaneously steam is introduced, whereby bromine is distilled out.
- a vertically long, gas-liquid contact equipment preferably a packed tower
- the liquid is brought into contact concurrently or counter-currently with gaseous chlorine while allowing the liquid to flow down, there is so little risk of forming local unhomogeneous part in the reaction system that neither formation nor accumulation of trichloroamine occurs even if a small amount of ammonia is present in the liquid feed.
- This liquid was fed into a tank having a gaseous chlorine inlet port at the bottom and being equipped with a stirrer. Gaseous chlorine was introduced while stirring, and introduction of chlorine was stopped when the oxidation-reduction potential of the liquid reached 700 mV. The molar ratio of the introduced gaseous chlorine to 3,5-diaminochlorobenzene in the liquid was 37. After a small amount of sodium sulfite was added to reduce the hypochlorite in the liquid, 32% hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the liquid pH to zero, and the precipitate was filtered off. In the filtrate 21 ppm of ammonia was detected, but after it was ascertained that on further introduction of gaseous chlorine into this liquid smooth treatment would be possible without precipitate formation, and the liquid was subjected to the bromine recovery treatment.
- a glass-made packed tower which had a diameter of 50 mm, a height of 1 m, a liquid feed inlet and a gaseous chlorine inlet at the top, a steam inlet and a drain outlet at the bottom, and a bromine distillate outlet at a nearly middle portion.
- the distillate was rectified and bromine of 99.3% purity was recovered. The yield of the bromine recovery was 93%.
- a liquid containing 0.4% of aniline derivatives including o-aminobenzoic acid and aniline, 0.1% benzoic acid, 10% of sodium bromide, and 0.3% of potassium hydroxide was treated in nearly the same way as Example 1, except that the former stage vacuum distillation was omitted, recovering bromine in a yield of 92%.
- the process of this invention is useful to recover bromine, from the waste liquids formed in the production of aniline derivatives by ammonolyisis of nuclear substituted bromobenzenes, or similar liquids. It brings about direct merits by recovering bromine and other valuable constituents separatedly from the waste liquid, at the same time enhances economy of the overall process for producing aniline derivatives through ammonolysis, and moreover makes it possible to avoid detrimental effect of the waste on environment. Also, this process does not involve danger of explosion accidents, is operable smoothly and suitable for industrial practice.
